Crazy, crazy. I was…read moreexpecting more of a Christmas market- craft vendors and seasonal food. It was more like an American carnival midway. Lots of rides and tons of people. Salmon don't work that hard to move. This was really crowded. But I was there on a Friday evening, and I believe the trees were being lit on The Champs d'Elyse. The carnival rides were funny. All the ones we have seen in the states, but dressed up with Santa's, tinsel, and red fabric. There were several large and small food and drink booths. You could get hot wine, hot chocolate, raclette, sausages and even funnel cakes. The other venders has Christmas cheese, scarves, wooden toys, jewelry and candies. The jardin grounds were covered with large plastic tiles so you weren't walking in mud or uneven ground. I wished it had been spread out a little better.

They have EVERYTHING. Crappy, made in China gifts? Check. Delicious candy everywhere? Definitely. Vin chaud every 5 feet, served in delightful collector cups? Oh yeah, they have it. I have a full set of those cups too, BTW. Very, very, very odd animatronic animal tableaux for some reason? Yep. A plastic dinosaur in the middle of it all? What the hell, why not! Tons of tempting food stalls too - selling everything from racelette to choucroute garni to saucisson. They even have Fried Christmas (IDK). You won't go hungry or thirsty. I especially enjoyed the sketchy carnival rides clearly repurposed in a "Christmas" theme. If you don't dig a Thriller zombie roller coaster with all the zombies (on all levels, the sign gleefully promises!) dressed in Santa suits, there's just no help for you And can we talk about the very interesting Santa decorations? For 2018, the Marche is in the Tuleries gardens. It's everything I wanted it to be, and that's not just a gallon of vin chaud talking.w

This is by far one of the most unique museums I've been to…read more Most are history or art of the region, this one was dedicated to perfume and beauty. It was pretty cool to walk around and see the displays with vintage perfume bottles and vessels. At the end of the tour (which was free) you get dumped into a gift shop (go figure). The cool thing about the gift shop is the build your own perfume section. This was a nice inexpensive way to spend part of the afternoon in Paris.

During my last trip to Paris, I made sure to visit this museum to explore the history of perfume,…read moregiven my love for both history and fragrances. It was enjoyable to explore on my own and see how perfume and scents have evolved, with many beautiful pieces and artworks that I easily lost track of time. I wish there had been more opportunities to smell -- although maybe not all of the scents were pleasant -- of the original fragrances you hear about during the tour, but I enjoyed trying the different perfumes in the shop. The sales clerks' high-pressure tactics somewhat lessened the relaxed feeling, but overall, I really liked it, and I did purchase a few delightful perfumes. I bought Ile Damour and Melodie because, in my opinion, they smelled classically French.

However, totally worth it and wish I'd ordered more.

Located on Montaigne Avenue, the Dior Gallery is a stunning walk through experience through…read moreChristian Dior's journey and designs across the years. Tucked amongst the buildings on the street, it's almost hard to believe how large the gallery is on the inside as there is so much to see from dresses to accessories to magazines and more. Upon entering, the exhibition starts at the top floor, where you make your way through the building and steadily downwards on a journey through time. This is a fun experience for those who love fashion, history, and art, but there is truly much to appreciate for someone coming in with no prior knowledge or expectation. This gallery is extensive and they change out the pieces periodically, so there's a lot of re-visit value. The gallery goes beyond fashion and has moments discussing Christian Dior's personal life, the building itself, and how the Dior name continues to thrive in modern-day couture. At the end of the gallery they have their own Dior Le Café, which carries both drinks and food, and a mini gift shop section. I found it a great spot to relax and rechage. *Lucky Sando en trio: This trio of sandwhiches was delicious and larger than expected for a tea-time-style snack. The egg-mayonnaise was moist and flavorful, tasting as expected. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and cucumber one which provided a refreshing and cooler-tasting sandwich. The chicken with spices was the most unique one of the three. It had tumeric and other spices that made it stand out. It held the most umami. *Caesar salad with Chicken: This dish was crafted together at table-side which was both unexpected and lovely to experience! I appreciated the different toppings to what I thought was going to be a generic salad, and the overall outcome was very vibrant. The chicken itself is a fully seasoned and cooked fillet, making this dish very filling. *Chocolate Chaud: This is my favorite drink in France, and ordering it here was no different. Deeply rich and made with heavy cream and dark chocolate, chocolate chaud tastes like drinking liquid chocolate straight from a pot. Generally, you can purchase tickets online for a specific date and time with full price being 16 EUR, though there are discounted options available. You can also try your hand for a walk-in visit, though the line can get rather long. I was fortunate enough to enter for free and without a wait, which I am extremely grateful to the team for!

While this is not necessarily a must-see museum for all visitors to Paris, it is well worth the…read moretrek to see the beautiful sun-filled (and climate controlled!) building, enjoy the peaceful grounds and view from the top floor, and of course see art. We saw the Calder exhibit, and as it unfolded floor after floor, room after room, it felt like a generously curated exhibit in a building which is itself a work of art. There is also a café and gift shop. I recommend getting tickets in advance, though there is still a line. Add in time to walk around the park.

Instead, consider it a 2-fer: you got to experience both the art and the building for a single price of admission. Both are exceptional. I understand that museum exhibits change but it's difficult to imagine a better use for the massive space than the Calder restrospective I enjoyed. It's so comprehensive that I'm certain I'll never see a Calder show that compares. I can't even imagine another museum that has the space to house such a collection. And then there's the building itself. Should you ever finish viewing the Calder exhibit, make your way to the rooftop. You were surely awed by the sight of Gehry's masterpiece from the outside but only from inside can you get to the terrace with its peek-a-boo, un-photographable Eiffel Tower view. Clearly, Gehry could have given us a dead-on site from which to take a selfie with that landmark in the background and equally clear was that he chose not to. The terrace itself is rife with views, just not that one. Don't miss it. Fondation Louis Vuitton had crowds without being crowded (except in the initial exhibit rooms) making it the perfect antithesis of a Louvre or d'Orsay experience. Other stuff: * Al fresco terrace cafe (with blankets provided; it was chilly in May) and a light-filled, artsy ground floor restaurant; * Best to purchase advance, timed tickets, easily done 1-day ahead. * When booking your ticket you can also reserve (for a couple additional euros) a shuttle to and from the site. The walk there takes about 15 minutes, is well-marked, and flat. I'd paid for the shuttle but didn't use it in either direction.
